Question

why it is necessary to develop irritation facility for agriculture? Explain

Answer 1

It helps to cultivate superior crops with the water supply as per needof the crops. Ultimately it helps in economic development.Irrigation water improves water conditions in the soil, increases the water content of plant fibers, dissolves nutrients & makes them available to plants.

here is your answer....

Answer 2

It is important to increase the area under irrigation because:

It is necessary to reduce the dependency on rainfall and stabilize the cropping pattern.

For example in South India without perennial rainfall, water supply replenishment is dependent on a cycle of dry seasons alternating with monsoon seasons.

Monsoons are not certain in nature. So, farming cannot entirely depend upon rains.

Irrigation also allows farmers to grow more crops in one year on the same land

The constant availability of water for irrigation provides a sense of stability to the farmer, and also encourages him to practise newer farming methods and patterns to maximise the productivity.
